If you want my attention, start a recipe with “maple bacon.” I’m in! I don’t care if it’s a meat, vegetable, cupcake, whatever. I think maple syrup and bacon are like peanut butter and jelly: a total match made in heaven. They come together deliciously in this easy brussels sprouts dish. Anytime someone tells…

Sometimes I share a tried-and-true recipe I’ve been making for years, and other times I tweak something new to make it more macro-friendly. This was a new one for me. It took a couple tries to get the amounts right (the first time I tried it, it made a pan and a half worth of…

I love this. So much. Pressure Cooker Mexican Chicken is a great base that can go in nearly any direction: plain with a fork, as a dip with cream cheese (like buffalo chicken dip), in taco shells, as a taco salad, on nachos, or in Mexican Chicken Casserole (recipe coming this week).

It’s definitely not a requirement to healthy eating, but it’s a pretty fantastic tool to make it faster (and often tastier). I’ve shared a few beginner recipes already, but…

My family wouldn’t survive without chicken breasts prepped and ready for: salads zucchini noodles with sauce soups chicken salad simply eat on its own This been one of the most important keys to our ability to get in the required protein every day without…

I don’t know where to begin in describing this, so I’ll just tell you about my weekend. I made my first batch of cheeseburger pie on Friday. It wasn’t quite right and I wanted to make it again because I thought I could improve the macros. It wasn’t bad…it just wasn’t perfect. By Sunday, the…
